Day 183 - From the mean streets

As I mentioned yesterday, I've been trying to find approaches to photographing this city in interesting and creative ways.

So I thought to myself, why not? A sewer grate. It's symmetrical, has a feeling of strength and permanence and seems to be able to resist the decay that is evident in the pavement and concrete around it. It's straight lines contrast with the jagged edges of the crumbling street; it's slightly reddish colour stands out against the black, grey and white of the road.

I'm surprised at how happy I am with the result.
